The Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, has confirmed that there is a Franco-German plan, which has been reported to be a proposal for resolving disputes between Kosovo and Serbia. 

"As for Kosovo and Serbia, an understanding must be found there. We and the French Government are trying to make it accessible, feasible and I hope that very soon we will have a process where both governments will move forward and reach an agreement", said Scholz during a joint press conference with the prime minister of Albania, Edi Rama, after the Berlin Process summit. 

Scholz did not give details of this plan, which the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, have confirmed that they are aware of. 

Even the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has refused to give details on the Franco-German plan, insisting that "it is respect for the mediator to preserve the confidentiality of concrete talks". 

However, he said that he will accept any proposal that is based on "European and democratic values" and that does not violate the integrity and sovereignty of Kosovo. 

As for the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Kurti insisted that Kosovo will accept such an agreement only if mutual recognition between the two countries is included. 

"It is too early to say now what it will contain in the end. The future agreement between Kosovo and Serbia must be final, it must be for full normalization, it must be legally binding, and it must have mutual recognition at the center," said Kurti. 

The Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Besnik Bislimi, has stated that the Franco-German proposal envisages the resolution of disputes in two stages. 

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, said that the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia should take seriously the proposal of Paris and Berlin, which he assessed as "a very good opportunity not only for Kosovo and Serbia, but for the whole region and the world." 

Vucic, on October 8, said that France and Germany have proposed that Serbia allow Kosovo's membership in international institutions and organizations, including the United Nations, in exchange for Serbia's rapid membership in the European Union. 

The media in Kosovo have reported that the proposal does not envisage the recognition of Kosovo by Serbia, but it envisages the recognition of Kosovo by the five members of the European Union that have not done so – Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Greece and Slovakia. 

The German Chancellor, in his opening speech at this summit, requested the acceleration of the process of normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia. 

"It is time to overcome the regional conflicts that have been going on for too long, conflicts that divide you and hold your countries back on the European road", said Scholz, while adding that the countries of the Western Balkans will have the support of Germany throughout the process.
